Chen Jia, vice president of Amway China R&D, said that the global procurement standard requires Amway's protein powder raw materials "not to use genetically modified raw materials". The protein powder sold in China market, from seeds to soybeans to finished products, has been tested by SGS and other top testing institutions in the world. The raw materials of Amway Nutrilite protein powder are all non-GMO soybeans, and they have all been certified by these laboratories.

"After this rumor came out, it was replaced by some networks." Wang Ruhua, deputy director of public affairs of Amway China, said that Amway will reserve the right to pursue the legal responsibility of the rumour maker.

Amway also announced yesterday that it will invest 600 million yuan to build a second production base in Guangzhou Economic and Technological Development Zone and the first plant research and development center of Amway in Wuxi, Jiangsu. Huang Deyin, president of Amway China, said that the sales of Amway China reached 26.7 billion yuan last year, and the original production base will soon be saturated. The second production base is planned to be built in two phases, which will be completed and put into operation in 20 15 and 20 16 respectively, specializing in the production of nutrilite nutrition and health food. In the future, all the existing Nutrilite production lines of Amway China will be transferred to the new base. At present, the project has entered the stage of design and planning.
